Gadd9
I got a cat named Chicken Joe
E9
Sleeps with the chickens when the weather gets cold
Gadd9
Stays warm in the hen house all night long
E9
'till the rooster crows at the break of dawn
C                                  D
But he's no chicken, he's just a cat
                      E9   D
A cat named Chicken Joe


[Verse 2]
Gadd9
I know a little dog named Miss Kitty
E9
She's a little dog livin' in a great big city
Gadd9
Don't want a fish, just want a bone
E9
Call "Here Kitty, Kitty" and she'll come back home
C                                        D
But she's no kitty, she's just a little dog
                            E9 D
A little dog named Miss Kitty


[Bridge]
Gadd9
What's in a name?
Gadd9
Call it what you will but it still won't change
Gadd9                                           D
Call it anything you want but it's still the same
                      Gadd9
Oh no, what's in a name?


[Verse 3]
Gadd9
I heard about a parakeet named King Kong
E9
Tweeting and chirping all day long
Gadd9
Gets mad enough to knock down a house in a rage
E9
It's a good thing he can't get out of that cage
C                                   D
He's no gorilla, he's just a little bird
                          E9 D
A parakeet named King Kong


[Verse 4]
Gadd9
Fred's got a mule and he calls him Mister
E9
I'd rather kiss that mule than kiss my sister
Gadd9
Strong and steady through rock and snow
E9
He'll get you where you want to go
C                              D
He's not a man, he's just a mule
C                                     D
She's no kitty, she's just a little dog
C                               D
He's no chicken, he's just a cat
                        Gadd9
A cat named Chicken Joe
